Click For Summary
The series S_n = ∑(e^n/(1+e^(2n))) is analyzed for convergence. The ratio test is applied, yielding a limit L of 1/e, which is less than 1. This indicates that the series converges. The conclusion is that the series converges based on the ratio test results. The discussion confirms the validity of this convergence assessment.

$\textsf{Does $S_n$ converge or diverge?}\\$
\begin{array}{lll}
&S_n&=&\displaystyle
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{e^{n}}{1+e^{2n}}\\
\end{array}
$\textsf{presume we could use Imtegral test}$

Re: 10.3.35 converge or diverg

Let's try the ratio test:

$$L=\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_{n}}\right|=\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{\dfrac{e^{n+1}}{e^{2(n+1)}+1}}{\dfrac{e^{n}}{e^{2n}+1}}\right|=e\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(\frac{e^{2n}+1}{e^{2(n+1)}+1}\right)=e\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(\frac{2e^{2n}}{2e^2e^{2n}}\right)=\frac{1}{e}<1$$

Therefore, the series is convergent. :D
 
Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
